Other tips for successful filming:
•
•

Before leaving home, check that your SD card is correctly inserted into the
camera : the recording maybe faulty or the SD damaged if not correctly
installed into the SD card slot.
Check that you have enough free space on the card for recording
Check that the battery is fully charged (take additional external power packs if
needed)
Prior to a long ride, test and validate your camera in different recording
positions so that you don’t lose great footage because of poor positioning.
Always check that the rubber seals on the rear cover are positioned correctly
to ensure your CAMSPORTS camera remains waterproof.

playing back, otherwise you may damage the card

tightening: do not operate your camera if there is water inside; open the rear
cover and leave your CAMSPORTS camera to dry for 24-48 hours
My computer cannot play my CAMSPORTS video files:

•
•

Unscrew the rear cover and plug the mini-USB cable into the recorder and
connect it to a USB 2.0 port on the computer. It might take a few minutes for
your CAMSPORTS camera to be detected the first time.
